| (1) | The Non-PEO Named Executives for fiscal year 2026 and 2025 were: Amy E. Hood, Judson B. Althoff, Takeshi Numoto, and Bradford L. Smith. The Non-PEO Named Executives for each of fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022 were: Amy E. Hood, Judson B. Althoff, Bradford L. Smith, and Christopher D. Young. |
| (2) | The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of “compensation actually paid,” as calculated in accordance with the Pay Versus Performance Rules. These dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amounts of compensation earned by or paid to our Named Executives during the applicable year. For purposes of calculating “compensation actually paid,” the fair value of equity awards is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using the same assumption methodologies used to calculate the grant date fair value of awards for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table (refer to “Named Executive Officer Compensation – Fiscal Year 2026 Compensation Tables – Summary Compensation Table” for additional information). The “compensation actually paid” for fiscal years 2023 and 2022 has been updated from the amounts in Microsoft’s 2023 Proxy Statement to reflect the application of recent SEC guidance relating to retirement vesting treatment, which was issued following the filing of the 2023 Proxy Statement. |
| (3) | In accordance with the Pay Versus Performance Rules, Microsoft and Peer Group total shareholder return (“TSR”) is determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment on June 30, 2021 through the end of the listed fiscal year. The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table was determined using the Nasdaq Computer Index, which we also use in preparing the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K for our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. |
| (4) | We have determined that Microsoft Incentive Plan Revenue (as defined on page 42) is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important financial performance measure used to link “compensation actually paid” to our Named Executives, for fiscal year 2026, to company performance (the “Company Selected Measure” as defined in the Pay Versus Performance Rules). |
The following table shows the fiscal 2026 amounts deducted from and added to the Summary Compensation Table total compensation to calculate the “compensation actually paid” to our PEO and Non-PEO Named Executives in accordance with the Pay Versus Performance Rules.
